Miracles of coconut -I

Hey all!

         Today I am gonna share with you one of the tips that my grand ma had shared with me for beautiful hair and skin! Grand moms are always the best for they give us the most quint essential tips in every aspect of life. One thing am very much proud of my family is our thick long hair. In fact even my kids have very black and thick hair.

         Throughout both my pregnancies I was losing and gaining hair on and off but was unable to maintain and retain it. It was my grand-mom who first noticed my hair loss and it becoming weak and gave me a handful of tips to regain my lost lustrous and voluptuous hair. And believe it or  not, she suggested only ONE ingredient which worked wonders for me. It's none other than coconut.

         I then realized what I had forgotten all these years and was instead running behind other imported products. Coconut is and was our basic product which has health and beauty enhancing properties. Each and every part of coconut is proven useful by our ancestors. Coconut oil, milk and its water has time and again proven to have invaluable benefits on our body, skin and hair.

   

           In this first part I shall share about the benefits of coconut water and how to apply it. For beautiful face, take one glass of tender coconut water and add 2-3 strands of saffron and some rose petals. Leave this mixture for 15  min. Apply this to face and neck with cotton balls. You will realize instant results as coconut water keeps your face refreshed and smooth while saffron adds extra glow. Rose petals enhance the tone of your face. Use this solution for thrice a week to get best results. Also note that you cannot refrigerate this as tender coconut water tends to get spoiled.

               For shiny and rehydrated nails, rub the tips and cuticles of  your nails with cotton dipped in coconut water.This will keep your nails from getting cracked and gives oxygen. You can also use this on your ankles to treat cracks. You can also remove make up with coconut water and believe me, it removes your entire make up without any hassle! 

So that's it for today folks. Do try these out and let me know how it went. Also don't forget to follow my blog for more updates and posts! Meet you in next post.

Until then, tc bye bye <3 <3

DIY face packs

Hello my dears!!

Hope you are enjoying my posts.Today I am gonna post something that you can prepare straight from your kitchen.

Oats, oats, oats!!! This is what I keep hearing from most women now a days. Many women want to get back to their once upon a time slim looks. So intake of oats by women has considerably increased with time.

Apart from physical intake, oats can also be used as face packs which help to keep your skin glowing. You can also use it as a face wash. Today I am gonna show you how to make your own DIY face packs with oats.

1. To use oats as a scrub, mix one table spoon of oats, honey and sugar and scrub your face with it. Scrub your face for nearly two to three minutes and wash it off with hot water. Also remember to powder your oats if it's flaky. This makes your skin soft and removes the dirt.

2. Oats can also be used as a face mask. Mix two table spoons of oats, olive oil, honey and curd. Apply it to your face and leave it on for half an hour. Wash it off with cold water. This face wash effectively removes the wrinkles on your face.

You can also add a ripened banana ( half of it) to two table spoons of oats, cream, milk and wheat flour and blend it into a paste. Apply it to your face and wash it with cold water after 10 min. Do not use soap immediately.

3. To rejuvenate your skin, mix half cup of oats, one fourth of milk powder and two table spoons of honey in a thin cloth. Tie this to a tap where water can penetrate into the cloth. Keep a bucket under the tap and see to that water from the tap penetrates into the cloth and falls into the bucket. Let the bucket get filled. Use the water that has fallen into the bucket for bathing. This will keep your skin rejuvenated.

So that's it for today my darlings. Try the three methods that I posted and let me know how it turned out. Do try the third one as I found it extremely effective. Don't forget to leave your experiences as comments.

Meet you in next post. Until then, take care:)
